I read a police procedural about an Irishman working for the Met, 1940;s perhaps, and he is a sad sack living alone, there’s a woman policeman who’s his sergeant? I loved the book, didn’t follow it up, and now I can;t for the life of me remember the author, the character’s name or the title . . . does this ring any bells at all? Love you web site, thanks -just found it and will spend some time perusing, hoping to find authors as good as Donna Leon –
